The Earl's Garden from DAVIDsTEAGood hot, but WONDERFUL as an iced tea. A little fruitier than I normally like, but still a great Grey.Tue, 15 Mar 2011 12:08:08 -0400/teas/The%20Earl's%20Garden/15694-the-earls-garden?note=70340
Jasmine Green Tea from President's ChoiceA great floral tea for people who don't like florals--really mild, and great with some honey. Tastes like Spring.Tue, 22 Mar 2011 14:53:42 -0400/teas/Jasmine%20Green%20Tea/12528-jasmine-green-tea?note=71078
Himalayan Traveller's Tea (organic) from DAVIDsTEAA bit grassy and certainly for those who appreciate a lighter black tea. Best without milk, but fabulous with a small dash. A new (absolute) favourite.Wed, 30 Mar 2011 20:21:18 -0400/teas/Himalayan%20Traveller's%20Tea%20(organic)/14929-himalayan-travellers-tea-organic?note=72108
Forever Nuts from DAVIDsTEAVery good hot with a bit of honey. Tastes a bit like one would picture liquid oatmeal tasting. But better.
I had this strange idea that it would be delicious cold with milk. I was very wrong. Do not try it.
Love the colour, love that it's a bit nutty. Am always tempted to eat the tea leaves when I see them.Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:44:46 -0400/teas/Forever%20Nuts/10338-forever-nuts?note=121724
Pink Flamingo from DAVIDsTEANot a fan of this hot, but makes a great iced tea. I like to cut up some lemon and leave it in there while the tea steeps. Like most iced teas, I would brew this one pretty strong initially. Great for summer.Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:47:38 -0400/teas/Pink%20Flamingo/18249-pink-flamingo?note=121725
Buttered Rum (organic) from DAVIDsTEAThu, 19 Jul 2012 13:48:59 -0400/teas/Buttered%20Rum%20(organic)/15252-buttered-rum-organic?note=121726
Jungle Ju Ju from DAVIDsTEAI've only ever had this iced, but I really enjoyed it. Tastes mildly fruity, but ends with a slight vanilla flavour. Guayusa was a new experience, found it left me very energetic and feeling great. Would certainly have this tea again.Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:50:42 -0400/teas/Jungle%20Ju%20Ju/19879-jungle-ju-ju?note=121727
Read My Lips from DAVIDsTEALove this tea. Minty and slightly chocolate-y, a great, light, afternoon tea. I appreciate that the chocolate notes are not as artificial tasting as other teas claiming to be "chocolate." Quite addicting. Best taken clear.Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:17:26 -0400/teas/Read%20My%20Lips/11275-read-my-lips?note=163776
Glitter & Gold from DAVIDsTEAA slightly spicy, sweet treat. Cinnamon and light cove tastes stand out the most, but are complemented by the sweetness of the sugar crystals in the tea. Overall an easy drink, but not an everyday tea for me. Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:19:25 -0400/teas/Glitter%20&%20Gold/11273-glitter-and-gold?note=163778
Pumpkin Chai from DAVIDsTEANot a bad tea per se, but artificial tasting in my opinion. The pumpkin flavour is nice, but does not taste genuine. The chai component is too weak, however, if brewed strong enough, makes a decent tea latté.Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:21:24 -0400/teas/Pumpkin%20Chai/15698-pumpkin-chai?note=163779
Stormy Night (organic) from DAVIDsTEAI found this tea to be quite unremarkable. Besides a mishmash of flavours, cinnamon was the only one I could identify. It tastes similar to DavidsTea's Forever Nuts, but much weaker. Overall--"meh."Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:24:26 -0400/teas/Stormy%20Night%20(organic)/30854-stormy-night-organic?note=163781
Happy Kombucha from DAVIDsTEALove this tea! The fruity flavours are light, and so the tea is not too sweet. Perfect everyday tea, especially nice in the evening. Plus it has the added benefits of Kombucha--a known cold-fighter. Drink up!Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:44:19 -0400/teas/Happy%20Kombucha/18996-happy-kombucha?note=165239
Peppermint Amour (organic) from DAVIDsTEAThe perfect peppermint tea. I think I become more relaxed before even tasting it--just smelling this one in my cup puts me at ease. If you've ever had fresh peppermint tea, you know this is pretty darn close to the "real thing."

Brazillionaire from DAVIDsTEAI typically like nutty teas (was quite the fan of Forever Nuts at a point), but I find this to be a bit too much for me. To be fair, I am the person who picks around the Brazil nuts in the nut mix and goes straight for the cashews, so it's no surprise I'm not a big fan of this tea. I find the Brazil nut flavour is too strong, and after having it a few times, that it tasty almost...musty.
Overall, not the worst experience, but not a tea I'd drink again.Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:20:52 -0400/teas/Brazillionaire/27857-brazillionaire?note=168208
Countess Grey from Fortnum & MasonThis is certainly one of my favourites.
I was in London a few weeks ago, and went to one of my "tea heavens"--Fortnum & Mason. I picked up this gem and let me tell you, it's pretty perfect.
It's slightly citrus-y, complemented by bergamot. The nice thing about this one is that the citrus-bergamot flavoures don't overpower the tea. Seriously, this is one well balanced blend.
Happy to have it in my cupboard now, so I have a little cup of London every morning!Wed, 15 May 2013 16:33:54 -0400/teas/Countess%20Grey/21018-countess-grey?note=174604
Buddha's Blend from DAVIDsTEAI like this tea, it's an easy drink. Only complaint would be that the taste doesn't live up to the smell. This aroma of this tea is out of this world, but the taste is quite mild. Best brewed strong, and enjoyed clear. I have a hunch that it would make a great floral iced tea, if you're in to that kind of thing :)Mon, 23 Sep 2013 15:25:28 -0400/teas/Buddha's%20Blend/27109-buddhas-blend?note=193897
